Famous for its rich and creamy Umm Ali tagen. Smooth, melty, and full of flavor, it’s the kind of dessert you finish without realizing. One of the coziest Umm Ali bowls in the city.

A winter favorite. Their mille-feuille Umm Ali is warm, rich, and comforting. And if you’re avoiding dairy, they even have a lactose-free version made with coconut milk.

Crème brûlée Umm Ali? Yes, it exists. Layers of creamy Umm Ali topped with a caramelized brûlée crust from Cairo’s Le Doux. A fusion you didn’t know you needed but will definitely go back for.
